Summary

Meyzeek Middle is a public magnet middle school in Louisville, Kentucky, serving 896 students in grades 6-8. The school is part of the Jefferson County school district, which is ranked 140 out of 157 districts in the state and has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Meyzeek Middle has a strong academic performance history, ranking as high as 17th out of 282 Kentucky middle schools in the 2020-2021 school year and consistently earning 4 or 5 stars from SchoolDigger in recent years. However, its ranking has declined in the most recent 2024-2025 school year, dropping to 169th out of 320 Kentucky middle schools and earning a 2-star rating. The school consistently outperforms the Jefferson County and Kentucky state averages in standardized test scores, with particularly strong performance among Asian and White students. Meyzeek Middle also has relatively low dropout rates but higher chronic absenteeism rates compared to the district and state.

Compared to nearby middle schools in the same district, such as Barret Traditional Middle and Noe Middle, Meyzeek Middle generally outperforms them academically. However, the recent decline in Meyzeek's performance and the persistent achievement gaps among different student populations warrant further investigation and targeted interventions to ensure continued success and equitable educational opportunities for all students.
